In 2008, Immunomedics entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement with Nycomed GmbH, wherein Immunomedics issued Nycomed a worldwide license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize Veltuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of all non-cancer indications. Immunomedics retained the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize Veltuzumab in the field of oncology. In September 2011, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company acquired Nycomed to form Takeda-Nycomed. As a result of the Agreement, Takeda-Nycomed was responsible for completing the clinical development and obtainment of all necessary regulatory approvals for Veltuzumab, as well as commercializing and manufacturing Veltuzumab for sale in non-cancer indications. During this time, however, Takeda-Nycomed and Immunomedics were engaged in a dispute regarding a delay in the therapeutic compound's development.
On October 9, 2013, Immunomedics issued a press release announcing that the Agreement with Takeda-Nycomed had been terminated. Following this news, Immunomedics common stock dropped 5.9% on heavy trading volume.
